Secrets 22

Elizabeth and Ally got home from Pittsburgh on Monday and both were exhausted from a long yet very fun girl's weekend. Ally dropped Elizabeth off and then Ally headed home herself. When Elizabeth got into the condo she knew she had to talk to Michael about what she had done with Sidney while on her trip. Elizabeth knew that Michael would probably be seriously upset and she could not blame him one little bit. She found Michael in the office of their condo. He was playing poker online which was not a shock to Elizabeth at all.

"Hey I'm back" said Elizabeth.
Michael looked up at her for a sec and said, "Hi" and then went back to his poker game.
"All I get is a 'hi' from you" Elizabeth said looking at him with a shocked expression.
"Hold on a sec Lizzy" Michael said as he was concentrating hard on his game.
Elizabeth left the office and went into the bedroom to unpack and then check on James. She went into the nursery and saw James sleeping peacefully in his crib. She had seriously missed him and was not traveling again without her baby ever. Elizabeth touched his chubby cheeks and smiled at James. He was so adorable and perfect and god he was really starting to look extremely like Michael. Then all of a sudden Elizabeth felt an arms come around her waist and she looked up to see Michael standing next to her.

"OK now welcome home beautiful" Michael said as he kissed Elizabeth's cheek.
"Now that's better" laughed Elizabeth then she turned in Michael's arms so she could face him.
"How was your girl's weekend with Ally? How was the game and Sidney?" asked Michael.
"There is something I need to tell you. Let's go into the den" Elizabeth said as she took Michael's hand and they walked out of the nursery. Michael had a weird feeling and hoped that whatever Elizabeth was going to tell him was not going to be bad news. They sat down on the couch and Elizabeth looked at Michael and took a deep breath and then starting talking.

"Michael I kissed Sidney and then realized it was a mistake and that is when I called you and you know that you are the only one for me and I love you. I am so sorry. I need you to forgive me because I would do anything to make things right with us" pleaded Elizabeth looking at Michael with tears in her eyes.
"Wow but I can not be totally surprised that you kissed Sidney. I know you guys are friends and I did something stupid while you were gone too. I ran into of all people Amanda Beard. She was in town for some photo shoot thing and called me and we went out to dinner. I was still upset with you and so when I went back to her hotel with her. And we just kissed too but I think she was trying for more and then I realized that she is not what makes me happy. I need you and only you. So I can forgive you if you can forgive me Elizabeth. I love you too" Michael said.
"Michael I forgive you" Elizabeth said smiling at Michael.
"I forgive you too Lizzy. You mean the world to me and I am not losing you ever" Michael said leaning towards Elizabeth for a kiss that she happily accepted.
"Hey I think you and I need to start planning a wedding. What do you think dude?" asked Elizabeth with a huge smile on her face.
"I think that you are right and I can't wait for you to be my wife, Lizzy" Michael said smiling back at Elizabeth as he layed her down on the couch and kissed her again. Elizabeth pushed at his chest and looked at Michael and just laughed and said, "Dude what do you think you are doing here?"
"Oh I don't know just trying to see if I can have some fun with my beautiful fiance" laughed Michael.
"Not now dude. I am tired and James will be getting up from his nap soon and then he needs to be fed but I promise tonight I am all yours hot stuff" Elizabeth said seductively. Michael grinned big and said, "I am keeping you to that promise."

Sure enough James started crying and so Elizabeth got up and went and took care of James as Michael went into the kitchen to get some food ready for James. Elizabeth brought James into the kitchen and Michael fed James as Elizabeth watched. The three of them spent some quality time hanging out the rest of the afternoon and early evening as a family. Finally it was time to get James ready for bed and then Michael made sure Elizabeth did not forget her promise. Michael and Elizabeth spent the evening making love and then Elizabeth fell asleep in Michael's arms. Michael watched her sleep for a little while and then he dozed off too.
